Broker Remarks

Kingfisher has been meticulously looked after and maintained, and a recent service history is available.
The engine was professionally serviced and winterised every year, the last service being in November 2022, which included new filters, an oil change, fresh coolant etc.
The boat has been antifouled, using two coats of International Micron 350 black antifouling, and is ready to launch.
If required, a SunSport ARIB 230 x 2-man inflatable dinghy (NEW 2020) is available by separate negotiation. This fits perfectly on Kingfisher’s davits.
